US Shoots Down Anti-Ship Missiles Launched by Houthi Targeting Maersk Vessel

The US said it received a second distress call in less than 24 hours from container ship Maersk Hangzhou in the Red Sea, and its helicopters were fired upon by Houthi rebels as it rendered help.

The Navy helicopters responded with an attack that sunk three boats and killed the rebels, the US Central Command said in a post on X. The second distress call came at 6:30 a.m. Sanaa time on Sunday.
